Pickin' a Pumpkin

Spent some time at the pumpkin patch...picking out just the right pumpkins for carving. Sam took a field trip there with her class too & she taught us to cut the bottom of the pumpkin off to carve it instead of the top. She learned that cutting off the top cuts off the remaining nutrition supply from the vine...& that is your pumpkin fun fact of the day!

Peace, Love & Rock & Roll Dance

The girls went to the annual Girl Scount Fall Dance & rocked it out! Lots of dancing & SCREAMING...Momma had to take some Tylenol when we got home!

Uncle Steve's visit!

Uncle Steve came to Jax to check out our new place & have some fun in the Florida sun....except it was FREEZING! We are blaming him for tying the record low temp while he was here. He obviously brought the cold weather from the north because it left when he did! Despite the frigid air, we did manage to sqeeze in a trip to Universal & Islands of Adventure, tailgating & a Jag's game, the beach & of course, some corn hole.

Fire in the sky!

We don't normally play in the street in the dark, BUT, the sky was so red that we had to grab some pics of it! You have to look really hard, but S & Z are in the 1st pic too!

Explanation for the Tooth Fairy

Zoe lost a tooth at school last week....the bad part was she actually LOST the tooth...couldn't find it anywhere. Her teacher wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy for her to explain what happened.

Cuz Lexi turns 2!

We celebrated Alexis' 2nd Birthday in Orlando with The Palm Beach Gregorys. She's such a lucky little girl to have a poolside party in October!

Universal & Islands of Adventure

Ryan & Alexis chillin' with some popcorn while waiting for the big kids to get off of the rollercoaster. The pigeons thought they were gonna get some of that corn, but Ry & Lexi let them know who it belonged to!

Zoe's Character Counts!

Zoe won the award for the Character Counts award for her class for September. The character trait that they were awarding was Fairness. Her teacher said that Zoe demonstrates all of the qualities that they were teaching for this topic. At the assembly, her Principal, Mr. Story presented the award to Zoe. Ryan gave his big sis a high five. Now for the big question...Why can't she apply this to interactions with her sister!??!

Family Game Night

Sam & Zoe kicked some butt against Mommy & Daddy on Disney Scene-It last night. You can see them doing their "We Won & You Lost" Dance at the end!

Play Group at the Park

Ryan & his friends had a great afternoon of playing at the park with a picnic too! He played with Logan, Lucas, Jillian, Kylie & Alex.

Playing at the Pool

Friday Nights at the pool have a DJ & poolside bar. We have lots of fun when we go! Zoe was too busy playing with her friends to hang with the fam that night.

Ryan's Chariot

The little guy ain't so little anymore. After a couple of weeks in the bike seat it

was obvious that this wasn't going to work. Ry-Guy is riding in style to take his big sisters to and from school from now on!
